Note specifically the mention of streaming Saudi radio & TV. It appears the radio services correspond to this list at this page:

ALL OTHER MAIL TO [email protected] please. *Do not hit 'reply' to this message! * Hello from Hilversum, Well, the Dutch election campaign is finally over, the voters have had their say, and we're now set for weeks of haggling to see which political parties will form the next coalition government in the Netherlands. Of course, the main issue is how to deal with the economy, but the larger-than-expected number of votes for the right-wing Freedom Party (PVV) has also become a major issue, and it's not clear yet whether the PVV will be invited to help form a coalition. Apart from his extreme views on immigration and Islam, its leader Geert Wilders is on record as calling for the abolition of Radio Netherlands Worldwide. Other parties also want to make cuts in public broadcasting, but the PVV is only the party that has gone as far as calling for RNW to disappear. Needless to say, we'll be following the coalition negotiations closely on our website and in our broadcasts. I should stress that the the parties which form the coalition are going to have to make compromises, so even if that includes the PVV it doesn't necessarily mean that we're about to disappear. The weather has also been gloomy this week, with hardly any sun and plenty of rain. So many people are looking forward to the World Cup in South Africa, which starts tomorrow. The first game involving the Dutch team is on Monday at 1200 UTC. There will be live commentary in Dutch on Radio Netherlands Worldwide. I'll be writing a match report for our English website, and it should be online by 1500 UTC. BTW I've been told that my colleagues are about to finish coding the template for the new-look Newsletter, so it won't be long now. *Media Network Weblog*<http://nl.sitestat.com/rnw/rnw/s?rnw.en.features.media.newsletter&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/> Here are the stories we've published since the last Newsletter, excluding any time-sensitive items that are already out of date.
